I don't think so - but it does look like a list of guests that Trump would. I do not know the track-record of other presidents guests either - my GUESS is that this is not much different than most.

I know lots of people seem to think Trump and Sanders are alike, but that is simply not the case if you ask me.
Trump and Sanders have fundamentally different analyses of what's wrong with America and its government, and what ought to be done about it.

Sanders is campaigning on substantive policy positions, and Trump is largely campaigning on the force of his personality.
Sanders is a career politician; Trump isn’t.
Sanders holds policy positions of a typical liberal Democrat; Trump’s are all over the place
Sanders’s support divides fairly clearly along ideological and demographic lines; Trump’s doesn’t
Sanders’s candidacy has clear historical precedents; they’re less obvious for Trump.
Trump is a much greater threat to his party establishment.
